parameters and changes in spectral properties of the signal envelope of backscattered RF
signals during the thermal process. We have shown previously that by using wavelet
approximations these tendencies are better recognized in the case of the heating of a phantom
sample than in the parallel analysis performed for a full signal envelope. Here we are
currently expanding this statement to the case of heating a soft tissue sample in vitro. The
shape parameter of the K- distributed random variable is considered as a statistical marker of
temperature level changes. Additionally, the spectral properties of different levels of wavelet
approximations are calculated and their sensitivity to temperature increase and decrease is
demonstrated. Both approaches registering changes in temperature, are used in the case of
the pork loin tissue sample in vitro, heated by an ultrasound beam with a different power.
